Numerous recent efforts have attempted to characterize harmfulness [1]}, hate speech [2]}, and offensiveness [3]} within memes. Most of these efforts have been directed towards detecting malicious influence within memes, but there has been little work on identifying whom the memes target. Besides detecting whether a meme is harmful, it is often important to know whether the meme contains an entity that is particularly targeted in a harmful way.
This is the task we are addressing here: detecting the entities that a meme targets in a harmful way.
